Adding a new device via a distributed poller

Hello,

We have a distributed polling setup. However, when adding new devices, we are finding that the new device needs to permit snmp traffic from both the librenms frontend and the distributed poller. If only the distributed poller is whitelisted on the device, then the device fails its initial ping/snmp check.

Is there a way we can add devices (without using the force option) that doesn’t require reachability from the frontend, but only the distributed poller?

Validate.php run from our distributed poller:

/opt/librenms $ ./validate.php
